Dino Match is a
memory-building Windows game for five to
nine-year-olds. As Derik the dinosaur you rescue books
from Rex the Tyrannosaurus by solving various
memory tasks. These include seeing a collection
of cards face up for two seconds. These cards are
then turned face down and it's your job to find
the matching pairs. This helps improve short-term
visual memory. If correct you then guide Derik
through a maze to earn worms and books along the
way. If incorrect Derik will eat the book.
Dino Match has
bright graphics and sound and requires 640Kb; a 386
or faster PC; Windows 3.1, 95 or OS/2; 4Mb of RAM
or higher; VGA or MCGA; a hard disk; and it also
supports soundcards. -- by Alan Hilvert-Bruce

what young eyes see on the Internet is probably
on the agenda of every teacher and parent. There
are programs which promise to do this, but do
they really work? See our findings in our Guide
